"As the owner of Mainstay Insurance Brokerage, I've known GroupQuest since they opened, and have referred dozens of advisors to them over the years. Once I met with Mario, Lisa and the team, I was sold and knew Mainstay had to partner with them. The transition our partnership was seamless, and was a decision I wish I'd made sooner.
Running a dedicated employee benefits brokerage demands my full attention. GroupQuest's exceptional back-office support is invaluable. Their assistance frees up my time, allowing me to dedicate myself to my clients and also to my role as the founder of Canadian Group Insurance Brokers (CGIB), where I focus on educating and supporting other benefits professionals. Without GroupQuest's support, balancing both roles would be infinitely more challenging."

"I started working with GroupQuest when I took over our agency, and our Group Benefits Specialist was planning to retire. I was initially reluctant to give up the control and contact with the carrier, but was assured we would still be able to be involved when needed. Since that time, we have enjoyed a partnership that allows us to engage with carriers and reps as needed, while benefiting from a significant level of support that allows us to focus on client service and sales instead of admin. The entire GQ team works together to support our team, and we couldn’t have grown our business the same way over the past few years without them. Thanks to the GQ team!"
